Chapter 62: Playing Together

Su family manor

Su Yu finished washing up quietly, left a note for Mom, and left Mom's room.

"Good morning, Uncle!"

"Morning!"

Su Xi had already finished his meal and was reading the newspaper, while Su Yu stared wide‑eyed at the breakfast in her place.

"Uncle, is this breakfast wrong?"

A big bowl of wonton is fine; she even likes it. But what's up with this plate of greens? Aren't greens eaten at noon and dinner?

"You don't think that facing the wall counts as punishment, do you?"

【Isn't that so?】

Su Yu felt listless; she could imagine there would definitely be some at noon and dinner.

Su Yu ate with a sour face, then received a digital watch, a necklace, a pair of sneakers and a pretty hair tie.

"What are these?"

【You just punished me, and now you're giving gifts? A stick for a sweet date, Uncle you're quite slick. I won't be fooled by you!】

【By the way, can the digital watch access Weibo? I recall someone's digital watch could.】

Su Yu fiddled with the digital watch, and Su Xi, suppressing the urge to beat Su Yu, gave her an explanation.

"This digital watch has a button here; press the red button to call for help. Or take this out and press the blue button against the person who harms you, and a current will flow. The cover is sealed; don't press it by accident, understand?"

Su Yu nodded cutely.

【Got it! Looks like this watch only tells time!】

"The necklace and hair tie each have a locator, so they can pinpoint your position. Inside the sneaker's compartment there's cash and our family's phone number. If you get lost, you can give the cash to a nearby shop owner or passerby and ask them to lend you a phone."

"Okay! I'll obediently follow the adults."

【I usually stay with Uncle, so these things aren't needed, right?】

Su Xi sighed; he also hoped these items wouldn't be needed.

"Come on, go say goodbye to your dad before work."

"Alright!"

"Dad, goodbye! I'm off to work!"

【When I get back, everyone's rooms will probably have the same security level as yours.】

Su Yi, just waking up:??? If you have the ability, explain clearly! What's the problem with leaving halfway each time? Why put me at the same security level? What actually happened?

……

Su Clan Group, Su Yu's office

"Why are you here again!"

Su Xi saw Zhu Xueheng holding Liang Yan, and his head ached.

Liang Yan fluttered her beautiful phoenix eyes, staring at Su Yu, who was sunbathing on the blanket.

"We need to collect the certificate, so we left Huo Huo with you this morning."

"She should be at school now?"

Su Yu not attending school is her personal issue; Liang Yan is studying normally and should be at her school now.

"It's because of what you told me yesterday! She agreed, she plans to act today. If this gets out and Huo Huo is placed at school, it won't be safe."

Su Xi:...

"Put it at your home."

Zhu Xueheng gritted his teeth, "I'll give you something this afternoon, it's very important to you. After you see it, we still have to be brothers!"

Su Xi couldn't guess what that was, but Liang Yan was already here, and seeing Zhu Xueheng like that, it wouldn't be sent back.

"Come back quickly!"

Zhu Xueheng nodded, turned gently toward Liang Yan, "Huo Huo, this uncle is a friend of my mother and yours; you must obey him, the outside is unsafe, there are many bad people."

Liang Yan nodded, "Okay!"

This morning, Mom said she was going to do something big. Once done, they would move today, making her obey obediently.

Liang Yan had long wanted to leave, so she was willing to be a good child for a day.

Zhu Xueheng left with peace of mind, and Su Xi called an assistant in.

"If you need anything, you can ask her— toys, food, anything."

Zhao Liangyun smiled and nodded, "Kid, would you like to go to our company's play area?"

Liang Yan nodded obediently. Zhao Liangyun tried to reach for Liang Yan's hand, but Liang Yan dodged. Zhao Liangyun wasn't embarrassed, kept smiling, and led Liang Yan to the company's play area.

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then continued arranging company matters. The Chu Family is too overbearing; he wants to contend with the Chu Family, so he must prepare more.

Within five minutes, Liang Yan pursed her lips, with an awkward-looking Zhao Liangyun behind her, knocked on the office door.

"President!"

"Come in, what's up?"

"I don't want to play there, we're too childish!"

Liang Yan wants to be a good child, provided she suffers no grievances.

Zhao Liangyun twitched the corner of her mouth; Liang Yan wasn't actually wrong, the one who initiates flirtation is cheap. She still learned for the first time that the so‑called "best‑behaved child" in their company's childcare area is actually so rude to guests. Not only did they give Liang Yan a nickname, they also tried to yank her hair.

【Who is it? So noisy, Uncle is scolding someone?】

Su Xi really wants to know why Su Yu firmly believes he loves to scold people.

Su Yu opened her hazy big eyes, her slightly moist peach‑blossom eyes meeting the curious phoenix eyes.

"???"

【Who is this?】

Su Yu saw Su Xi, confirming she hadn't just slept and switched locations.

As she was tidying her little blanket, she heard the girl ask the uncle.

"Uncle, can I take off my shoes and step on it?"

"Sure."

Liang Yan quickly slipped off her shoes and ran over to Su Yu.

"Hello, I'm five, I'm your sister—you can call me Huo Huo Sis!"

"Hello, can you call me Xiao Yu?"

"What do you like to play? I can play with you—I won't mind that you're small, and I won't scold you for being childish."

Liang Yan was very pleased with Su Yu's attitude; her performance was much better than that bunch of kids just now.

"Thanks!"

【I love gossiping and listening to gossip, but the uncle is still here!】

"Huo Huo, do you want to play with blocks?"

"Sure! Sis, I'm awesome—I can finish it for you in no time!"

Liang Yan thought playing with blocks was a bit childish, but on the way here she heard the new dad say this little sister was only three—she could understand that. Once she finished, she could knock them down and teach the little sister to build again.

Su Yu ran to the side of the bookshelf, moved the wooden board from the shelf in front of Liang Yan, then ran back and pushed out a ball.

"Hey, let's play together!"

Liang Yan widened her eyes at the ball that was taller than her.

"Is this a whole set of blocks?"

Su Yu nodded. "Yeah, any problem?"

Liang Yan opened her mouth. "No, no."

Su Yu took apart the blocks in a few moves, and Liang Yan hurriedly joined in to reassemble them.

Su Xi saw the two people concentrating on assembling the blocks, and had Zhao Liangyun replace Qin Tao to come watch.

Su Xi had a quiet, worry-free morning. Su Yu would take care of feeding Liang Yan herself, so no adult needed to worry.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

"Huo Huo, Mom's here!"

Liang Yan wasn't wearing shoes as she flew into Mom's arms, "Mom, let's go home!"

"Okay!"

Liang Lijiang handed a wooden box to Su Xi, "This is what he said to give you."

"Thanks!"

"Huo Huo, wait a moment, this is for you!"

Su Yu took out the lollipop she eats every day and gave it to Liang Yan, who had just put on her shoes and was about to leave.

Liang Yan received the candy she had eaten last night, broke into a genuine smile, "Thanks, Xiao Yu!"

"Bye, Huo Huo!"

"Bye, Xiao Yu!"

Liang Lijiang took the happy-faced Liang Yan by the hand and took the elevator to the underground parking garage. Zhu Xueheng waited at the elevator entrance. He gently picked up Liang Yan and walked toward his car, "Little princess, are you happy today?"

Liang Yan shook the lollipop, "Not bad!"

"Then I'll bring you over later to play with your sister, okay?"

Liang Lijiang looked at Zhu Xueheng somewhat surprised. He didn't even dare to go up and deliver the diary, but now he's confident letting Su Xi help him babysit? Isn't he afraid Su Xi will read that diary and take revenge on him?

Her dead mother-in-law really is the sort who should be dealt with but isn't; she only likes to pick on soft targets and take her anger out on innocent people.
